misplace in all the hype about the X - Men and Spider - Man reboots ? permit ’s talk about the other dealership that Marvel is upraise . Yes , Fantastic Four begins again , with a newfangled producer , writer , and now a title .
account indicate that the reboot will be called Fantastic Four Reborn . This is partially based on Fox reserving the URL for www.fantasticfourreborn.com , which is n’t just confirmation ( studios tend to book the entanglement addresses for a mint of potential titles ) , but it does give some denotation of the guidance the new motion picture will in all likelihood take .
Much like the claim Batman Begins tacitly made it clear that Christopher Nolan was move back to the start of the Batman mythos and completely erasing the four premature movies , Fantastic Four Reborn suggests an acknowledgment the franchise need a ended do - over after two film that really did n’t knead . “ Reborn ” also evokes Marvel Comics outcome like Ed Brubaker ’s recent , well - received “ Captain America Reborn ” ( and some other , earlier miniseries that were n’t nearly so well receive . )
The Modern Fantastic Four movie has quietly been break up up steam since it was declare last year . Akiva Goldsman was announced as the producer , whose genre recognition include write for Fringe , I , Robot , and , um , the Joel Schumacher Batman movie . ( allow ’s just hope he ’s learned his lesson . ) He ’s also producing the approaching Jonah Hex movies .
Whenasked about the projectlate last year , original Johnny Storm portrayer Chris Evans said he doubt he would be involved , what with it being a reboot and all ( which is now pretty much a certainty , consider he ’s the novel Captain America ) . He did , however , clap the efforts to make the new film a short darker and grittier than the rather cartoony first two Fantastic Four movies :
I think there ’s room to readapt the tone in “ Fantastic Four ” as it was for “ Batman ” . You have it off , “ Batman ” read on a very cartoony tone towards the final stage and even in the beginning . It was a lighter movie , even though it was Tim Burton . It was still a wakeful film and the newer Batman ’s have just been amazing , so I ’m all for good filmmaking . If they can go make a good blue highly strung “ Fantastic Four ” the right way on .
Since then , Michael Green has come on board to write the script . His previous employment is principally as a manufacturer and author on Smallville and Heroes , which I suppose does n’t inevitably signify he ca n’t still write a good screenplay . He also co - wrote the Green Lantern script and is now begin study on the sequel .
Although the creative team does n’t have the most inspiring solidifying of credits ( it seems a fleck perverse to ask the cat who spell Batman & Robin to produce your gritty reboot , but that ’s just me ) , at least this prospective claim does betoken a recognition that a bluff new direction needs to be taken to make Fantastic Four work on the screen .
